323-324, 327-329, 415.
Contains personal recollections of Jackson and his career in France.
The book is valuable as the first technical treatise on the woodcut,
but the historical section is notoriously inaccurate and heavily
weighted with Papillon's prejudices.

The finest work on chiaroscuro, with 100 magnificent facsimile

illustrations in the text. Reproduces two of Jackson's Ricci prints
in actual size and color.
SAVAGE, W. _Practical Hints on Decorative Printing._ London, 1822, pp.
15-16.
Savage was the first writer to acknowledge Jackson's contributions
to color printing, although he was critical of his inks. The book
attempts to show, through examples, that color printing from
woodblocks is practical for a variety of purposes.

The most thorough book on the subject although the treatment of
Jackson is narrowly confined, like most wallpaper books, to his
shortcomings as a decorator for elegant homes.
